Preview

A nightmare is about to break free. This October, the Macready Theatre in Rugby will be transformed into a haunted house of horrors as Thunder Road Theatre Company unleashes its electrifying production, Shock Horror: A Ghost Story. A chilling fusion of live action drama, illusions and big screen terror, this spine-tingling spectacle will leave audiences breathless.

Shock Horror has been described as Stranger Things meets The Woman in Black. Inspired by classic theatre ghost stories and cinema’s greatest frights, the show is a chilling journey into a haunted past.

Little Herbert the Dummy.

The central character is Herbert, who grew up in the eerie old Metropol cinema. It was his playground and his prison. Forbidden from leaving by his disturbed parents, Herbert hid in its shadows and gorged on its late-night horror movies. But what lurks in the Metropol’s darkness? For Herbert, and for the audience, the real horror has only just begun…

Macready Theatre Manager, Amie Barton-Young said: "We are incredibly proud to bring this groundbreaking production back to Rugby as part of its UK tour. Shock Horror promises to be a truly unforgettable theatrical experience, and we can’t wait to welcome audiences into this nightmare this October. This show is a testament to the power of live theatre, and we’re excited to share it with our community."
